ETIENNE VAN HEERDEN Isobel Dixonwww.etiennevanheerden.co.za Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Cape Town. His prize-winning debut novel ANCESTRAL VOICES (TOORBERG) was published in 13 countries. Author of several novels including KLIMTOL (Podium^) and THE LONG SILENCE OF MARIO SALVIATI (UK: Sceptre, and 6 other countries, Winner, M-Net Prize, South Africa. Chosen for Borders Original Voices and Book Sense 76). Penguin SA won an auction to publish all his titles in English. ‘As writers like Marquez gave a rich artistic depth to South America – and Alasdair Gray defined the imaginative landscape of Scotland in Lanark – so Van Heerden has created an 'artistic map' of South Africa.' The Scotsman ‘One of the greatest storytellers in contemporary world literature.’ – Knack (Belgium) 'Van Heerden is a potent commentator on the contemporary South African condition and is rightly regarded as one of South Africa’s foremost novelists.' – Margaret van Klemperer, The Witness IN LOVE’S PLACE Literary 'Masterful…a formidable symphony.' – Ken Barris, Cape Times 'One of the first major works to interrogate the post-apartheid rainbow nation, and above all, an engrossing read.' – Fiona Snyckers, The Times (SA) ‘The richness of writing, of character, of wit and of critical gaze in this book recalls the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez at his best. … A simply superb rendition by one of Africa’s greatest writers.’ – Beverley Roos-Muller, Cape Argus A sweeping, ambitious novel of tangled histories, xenophobia and self-discovery in contemporary South Africa. IN LOVE’S PLACE intertwines two main stories in a stunning ensemble piece – Christian, a city slicker, drug-addled and paranoid and fast losing control of his life; his damaged, secretive wife; an old colonial hotel and a flock of highly-prized homing pigeons; an eccentric German violin teacher and her talented young pupil. And a violin, lost then found, which becomes the lynch-pin to the entire novel, connecting Christian’s family with the colourful characters who work in the famous Lord Milner Hotel in Matjiesfontein, on the edge of the Great Karoo. As the closely-knit community at the hotel eagerly anticipate the annual Southern Cross Pigeon Derby, their lives are turned upside down by the disappearance of young Snaartjie Windvogel. Was she abducted by Africans from the north, or did her music teacher inspire her to run away to the city? As rumours wheel and swirl like the flocks of pigeons above the windswept plains, old prejudices are exposed and secrets are revealed, as two worlds collide. Vivid, powerful and moving, beautifully written, and faultlessly translated. Translator: Leon de Kock. 456pp.
